Security & Privacy

Professor Sal Stolfo’s Allure Security Closed A $10 million Series A Funding Round

The startup develops cybersecurity software tools based on technology from The Intrusion Detection Systems Group.

Ronghui Gu Wins Amazon Research Award

The award will help fund research and support the work of a graduate student. 

Study Confirms Differential Privacy Was the Correct Choice for the 2020 U.S. Census

CS researchers demonstrate that the new privacy method—using differential privacy—is more effective than the old method of swapping, and better protects the privacy of minorities.

About

The security group works on a diverse set of security and privacy issues arising across the software/hardware stack.

The key research goal of the group is to design, develop, and deploy principled solutions for improving the security and privacy aspects of computer systems.

The group has a broad set of expertise ranging from systems security to designing privacy policies. It is a highly collaborative group and most of their students are co-advised by multiple faculty members.

    Dean Boyce's statement on amicus brief filed by President Bollinger

    President Bollinger announced that Columbia University along with many other academic institutions (sixteen, including all Ivy League universities) filed an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York challenging the Executive Order regarding immigrants from seven designated countries and refugees. Among other things, the brief asserts that “safety and security concerns can be addressed in a manner that is consistent with the values America has always stood for, including the free flow of ideas and people across borders and the welcoming of immigrants to our universities.”

    This recent action provides a moment for us to collectively reflect on our community within Columbia Engineering and the importance of our commitment to maintaining an open and welcoming community for all students, faculty, researchers and administrative staff. As a School of Engineering and Applied Science, we are fortunate to attract students and faculty from diverse backgrounds, from across the country, and from around the world. It is a great benefit to be able to gather engineers and scientists of so many different perspectives and talents – all with a commitment to learning, a focus on pushing the frontiers of knowledge and discovery, and with a passion for translating our work to impact humanity.

    I am proud of our community, and wish to take this opportunity to reinforce our collective commitment to maintaining an open and collegial environment. We are fortunate to have the privilege to learn from one another, and to study, work, and live together in such a dynamic and vibrant place as Columbia.

    Sincerely,

     

    Mary C. Boyce
    Dean of Engineering
    Morris A. and Alma Schapiro Professor
